[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8661444, member: 665412"] Likewise, definitely worth the trip and I'll be back when the winter isn't so harsh. I completely forgot about this thread so I need to update it since there's been significant changes to the substage. I finished the box about 3-4 weeks ago literally days before I moved cross-country to Mass so the box is finished but the false floor is still loose and I have a few things I need to do still. Main thing is probably relocating the Bass 12k to my toolbox and putting the other 3 banks of caps I have under the false floor or in the toolbox with the Bass 12k. So the Taramps Bass 12k is at .5 now (.35dcr) and it makes great power. Something like 9-10k at ~1.4-1.6 lowest reactive impedance. On most music it's probably only putting out 6-7k. I added a 2nd Team AA 15 D2 so I have 2 of them now, with the 3rd having burnt tinsel leads. I'll either recone it or sell it as is. The box is something like 7.8 cubes net after displacement of the windows, subs, and port. 10 inch big *** port tuning the box to 35/36hz. The subs seem to love it and I peak at 40 now instead of 38 which is an improvement, I can play around and see if I want to tune higher later on. 13 ply birch plywood double baffled and the rest is a single layer but the windows make it rock solid. Tons of kreg screws and the bottom baffle is screwed into the box and the top baffle to help them adhere better. Best score so far is 153.4. Huge gains from the single 15 that peaked at 148.2. 5db from doubling cone area, changing orientation, and dropping the amp to .5.
